Apache & mod_perl on Mac OS X Leopard

[Kwok]

I am trying to install Ensembl on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac which runs OS X 10.5.6. I notice that Ensembl require Apache 2 and mod_perl 2. I wonder does OS X 10.5.6 come with mod_perl 2, and if it does not, how can I install it?

yep, leopard comes with mod_perl installed. as root follow these steps:

insert the following line into /etc/apache2/http.conf:

LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so

right after this line is a good place:

#LoadModule fastcgi_module libexec/apache2/mod_fastcgi.so

of course you need to allow perl scripts to be executed. this can be done by creating a file named: /etc/apache2/other/perl.conf with the following contents:

<IfModule perl_module>
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.pl index.html
</IfModule>
</IfModule>


then restart apache:

apachectl restart

the log file: /var/log/apache2/error_log; should now show:

Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 configured -- resuming normal operations

and you're all set!
